CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims prior benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/832,133, filed Apr. 10, 2019, and of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/836,659, filed Apr. 20, 2019, the disclosures of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates generally to novel inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). More specifically, the invention further relates to the preparation of the disclosed PI3K gamma inhibitor analogs and their use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of various diseases, conditions and disorders related to PI3K gamma activity.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) phosphorylation. PI3K Converts PIP2 to the scaffolding binding element phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 plays a key regulatory role in cell survival, signal transduction, control of membrane trafficking and other functions. (Di Paolo, G. et al. Nature 2006, 443, 651; Parker, P. J. et al. Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2004, 32, 893; Hawkins, P. T. et al. Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2006, 34, 647; Schaeffer, E. M. et al. Curr. Opin. Immnunol. 2000, 12, 282). Its dysregulation leads to various disease states such as cancer, inflammatory and auto-immune disorders.

The Class I PI3Ks consist of four kinases further delineated into 2 subclasses. Class 1A PI3Ks consist of three closely related kinases, PI3Kα, β, and δ existing as heterodimers composed of a catalytic subunit (p110α, β or δ) and one of several regulatory subunits. They generally respond to signaling through receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). PI3Kγ single class 1B isoform, responds mainly to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), and is composed of a p110γ catalytic subunit and one of two distinct regulatory subunits. PI3Kα and PI3Kβ are ubiquitously expressed throughout a wide variety of tissue and organ types. The expression pattern of PI3Kδ is restricted, to spleen, thymus, and peripheral blood leukocytes (Knight, Z. et al. Cell 2006, 125, 733). PI3Kγ is found mainly in leukocytes, but also in skeletal muscle, liver, pancreas, and heart (Cantly, C. Science 2002, 1655).

Recently, Schmid showed that p110γ can be activated by receptor tyrosine kinases and TLR/IL1Rs in myeloid cells. PI3kγ serves as a single convergent point promoting tumor inflammation and progression. In an animal model, treatment of mice with selective PI3Kγ inhi-biter inhibited myeloid cell p110γ catalytic activity and adhesion to VCAM-1, due to effect on the tumor microenvironment instead of direct inhibition of tumor cells. (Schmid, M. C. et al. Cancer Cell 19, 715-727, 2011, PLoS ONE 8, e60226, 2013). Furthermore, inhibition of PI3Kγ enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased the expression of immune-suppressive factors in tumors and TAMs. Kaneda and De Henau concluded that PI3Kγ controls the TAM switch between immune suppression and immune stimulation. (Kaneda, M. M. et al. Nature 539, 437-442, 2016; De Henau, O. et al. Nature 539, 443-447, 2016).

Camps et al. described that treatment with selective PI3Kγ inhibitor AS-60485023 suppresses the progression of joint inflammation and damage in two distinct mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis (Camps M, et al., Nat. Med. 2005, 11, 936-943).

Based on the studies in cellular levels and efficacies observed in various disease models, PI3Kγ inhibitors could potentially be used to treat a variety of diseases such as inflammation, metabolic and cancer (Cushing, T. D., et al, J. Med. Chem. 2012, 55, 8559-8581; Ruckle, T. et al, Nat. Rev. Drug Discovery 2006, 5, 903-918; Stark, A. K. et al, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 2015, 23, 82-91).

PI3K gamma selective inhibitors have been disclosed in recent years. IPI-549 has been in the clinical trials as single agent and combination immuno-oncology therapies with check point agent PD-1 inhibitor Nivolumab (Evans, C. A. et al, ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2016, 7, 862-867). Pemberton N et al reported that selective PI3K gamma inhibition resulted in a dose dependent inhibition of LPS-induced airway neutrophilia in rats (Pemberton, N. et al, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2018, 61, 5435-5441). Modification of a series of azaisoindolinones by Come, J. H. et al provided CNS-penetrant and orally bioavailable PI3K gamma inhibitors that were efficacious in murine EAE model, which demonstrated PI3K gamma inhibition have the potential for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (Come, J. H. et al, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2018, 61, 5245-5256).

PI3K gamma inhibitors with related structure but different binding mode have been disclosed in recent years. For example, WO2015048318 disclosed (R)-6-(1-(2,2-difluoroethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-4,7,7-trimethyl-2-(5-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyhdin3-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one as a selective inhibitor of PI3K gamma. WO2011087776 disclosed Isoindolinone inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. WO2017153527 disclosed novel inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma. Discovery of highly isoform selective orally bioavailable phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) γ inhibitors, and design and synthesis of a novel series of 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) inhibitors were reported (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2018, 61, 5435-5441 and Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2018, 61, 5245-5256).

However, these reported PI3K gamma inhibitors have less optimal potency, selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, there are needs in the art to develop novel PI3K gamma inhibitors that have improved potency, selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties.

A mixture of stereoisomers (including, for example, a pair of enantiomers or a mixture of diastereomers) may be separated by any suitable method, including, but not limited to, chiral HPLC. In some embodiments, when a mixture of stereoisomers is separated by HPLC, it is to be appreciated that the resultant individual stereoisomers or mixtures can be assigned sequential labels (e.g., a first enantiomer, and a second enantiomer), the order of which implies the order in which the isomers eluted from the HPLC column. The absolute stereochemistry for a first enantiomer and a second enantiomer may be obtained by known methods.
